Has Braden officially declared for the draft? It sounds like a lot of players want to come back and stick it to the dirt bag that left us. Is there any chance with NIL and the right coach he comes back?

I think it's obvious… I mean he is a top 10 pick… as red a$$ as that would be. It's not going to happen. If he hurts something next year, he will not be a first round draft pick..
You don't declare for the draft in baseball like you do in basketball.
He will be drafted, very high, and will be a great MLB ambassador for our program.
His slot value will likely be $5-8M.

You don't have to declare for the draft in baseball. You get drafted. Then you decide if you want to sign your contract or turn it down. It does not affect your eligibility in college.
That said- he will draft incredibly high and will be (with 99.9% certainty) leaving for the MLiB. We can all hope he and his mother continue to be great ambassadors for our school.

You don't have to for baseball. He is eligible for the draft. Will likely be a top 10 pick. If he falls below that will still likely get top 10 money. He won't be coming back to A&M. Wish him the best of luck in his career.
Baseball players don't "declare" for the draft. They are draft eligible, get drafted (or not), and then decide to sign (or not). There's no formal declaration like other sports.
Braden would be crazy to turn down top-10 money and come back to school for any reason. His injury this year is actually the best evidence as to why he shouldn't do that. Also, he would lose tons of leverage if he were out out of eligibility.
I would love to see his name in our lineup next year, but there is no way I would want that for him in the big picture.

In baseball, it's important that top tier players leave before the end of their eligibility for leverage in negotiations. I wish the system was different. But it's not.
So does his injury not affect his potential draft status? He was expected to be around five before he hit his slump in May and before he broke his ankle.
I wonder what affect those two things will have. If his Mom is a doctor money may not be as important as it is to others. I think he is going to get to the majors at about the same time whether he plays here or in the minors because he will have to learn to trust that smile again mentally and physically.
The saga of A&M baseball continues. So many story lines.

Here is the Slot Money you are looking at.

Even if we got him $6M in NIL, he'd have another issue. In MLB, teams often draft Seniors and lowball them because they know he has little power. They may not want to screw BM over, but they could offer him $100K to sign and if he doesn't, he ends up playing Indy ball and unaffiliated to get drafted the next year.
Once a MLB team signs a player, they have control of him for 3-5 years of organizational control depending on his age when signed... and then once he starts playing MLB... the team gets him for 3 Serf years (league Minimum of $700K +/-) and then 3 Arb years.
If BM can get his MLB clock rolling in 2025, he'll be a FA sooner to make legit money.

The slump is a non factor and the injury isn't gonna have long term implications. He will not make more money next year. It actually wouldn't even be close due to the loss of leverage.

First Round
[ol]
- 20. Blue Jays: $4,073,400
- 21. Twins: $3,934,400
- 22. Orioles: $3,802,200
- 23. Dodgers: $3,676,400
- 24. Braves: $3,556,300
- 25. Padres: $3,442,100*
I can't imagine he drops more than 5-10 slots unless there is real structural damage. Hypothetically, if he drops 20 slots, you're talke $3.5M
So when will Monty declare for the draft?
We should be encouraging players to be drafted and play in the MLB. It helps recruiting to see athletes develop and succeed.
No declaring needed as has been stated. If he comes back I doubt he falls too far if at all in the next draft. Of course he loses leverage but he might get to the majors quicker. A lot depends on how high he goes and does he like that team. But not much chance he comes back but he will make millions either way.
FWIW was told by someone that spoke to the family at the CWS. The goal is Top 5 pick. If not, there's a possibility of a return.

This is a great breakdown.
But, 100K signing bonus and 700K/year IS legit money. I know that most guys are making 5-15M/yr. But 700K ain't nothing to sneeze at.
Also ballpark top tier NIL money for 2023.
Bigger question may be…..does his mom support Earley? She seems to be ticked at Cain for sending him home.
Didn't realize they could low ball him like that in the first round. I thought it was slotted. The leverage deal makes total sense
Thanks for the explanation. MLB draft pay stuff is so complicated.
Hope he doesn't drop to far in the draft.

Even if he was 100% certain going MLB, I'm sure he is included (damn sure better be) in any and all discussions that Alberts has with our players re potential coaching hires. A great character guy like that, you take advantage of his insight and opinion, and it's also common decency. One grea Ag!
I am glad Braden won't be back because that means his injury is minor and he can get on with becoming an MLB player
I hope the Astros get him. And please don't get into a pissing war with me between the Astros and the Rangers or any rude comments, I'm not looking for an MLB fight. I just made a comment to my preference.Sean98 said:

Appears to. She retweeted the managers' post about him.
It was a clean break and he's already out of his cast.Sq 17 said:

He is a top 10 pick. No way Astros or Rangers get him

I read somewhere that you don't have to declare for the draft. Can someone confirm?

That's correct, there is no official declaration
oh crap, yep, I forgot, well there's that. It's always interesting that the worst teams get the best players but then again sometimes the worst teams end up being the best team so I guess it's just a turkey shoot.tingyi0705 said:

I had figured with all the chatter he was expected to make a quick and full recovery
Still looking forward to the headlines of him signing for a Brinks trunk full of cash

Million or so to stay not bad for ~50 games a year in college compared to the grinder of 150+ games and travel in the pros.
Staying and being an Aggie baseball player is a no brainer.
